The Tediad

Dr. Phadius Gillinderg, an archaeologist of questionable integrity, presents to the world a hitherto forgotten Homeric myth about the less-than-legendary figure Tedieous. Tedieous is a timid potter from the largely overlooked polis of Spiphica who ends up entangled in both the events of the Trojan War and the machinations of the Gods of Olympus. Meanwhile, his hometown companion Kareena is left behind. She decides to strike out on her own journey to rescue Tedieous. Independently, they must learn to navigate through a supernatural world of strange islands, mythical creatures, bickering gods, heroes, villains, and a seeming endless supply of epithets.
